NEXT EDITION: TO BE CONFIRMED

Spain is thebirthplace of the culinary avant-garde, standing out for innovating techniques, using products creatively, and creating surprising dishes with character. Many of the movements that have driven this trend began in the Basque Country, where Basque Culinary Centerhas been endeavoring to document and share these innovations through training. With the help ofpioneering educators, we seek to train professionals capable of responding to the environment’s changing challenges. Due to astrong scientific vision, we have been able to move closer to the avant-gardewith well-founded and rigorous knowledge, while maintainingcreative freedom.

This gave rise to theMolecular Cooking Course,the first online course with a “learning by doing” approach in English, focused on molecular cooking within the gastronomic space.This course has a clear objective:to provide students with the necessary foundation and fundamentals to understand how avant-garde products and techniques work.It includestraining on gelling agents, thickeners, and emulsifiers. It also coversprocesses and technologies, both ancestral and contemporary,such as salting, smoking, and nixtamalization. It’s not a course aimed at replicating recipes, but at understanding the principles of molecular cuisine so as to design and execute avant-garde creations.

This programme isdelivered entirelyin English. Therefore,it is mandatory to have at least a B2 level, which can be demonstrated through official certificates, studies completed in English, or professional experience in English-speaking countries.
